As you mentioned about consultants, it was the consultants I had that made it worse. Not the plan itselfThanks for answering. I’m calorie counting myself and taking small positive steps. That’s a fantastic loss.
Yes I do believe the quality of consultant is a fundamental driver for many things wrong with SW including ED and the support/prevention. I have seen comments here about the poor way consultants consider what is put on forms.As you mentioned about consultants, it was the consultants I had that made it worse. Not the plan itself
But if he weighs quite a bit, and apparently doing around 15k steps, then he's not really having that many calories.I don’t get how he’s had so many calories and lost 11.5 lbs. The half stone must have been retained water or something!
If he had been binge eating over Christmas it will likely be some water retention and having experienced it myself almost all of it could be. Everyone’s bodies are different. Mine for example retains water significantly if I’m eating ‘bad’ foods especially if I’m not hydrating.I don’t get how he’s had so many calories and lost 11.5 lbs.

he posted on the 3rd of december he wouldnt be "eating properly" again until the new year, so it's weeks worth of binging...If he had been binge eating over Christmas it will likely be some water retention and having experienced it myself almost all of it could be.

he hasn't disclosed his starting weight at any point during any of the last FOUR restarts he has had since the end of october. He very possibly has lost 11.5lbs but from what????But if he weighs quite a bit, and apparently doing around 15k steps, then he's not really having that many calories.
Compared to an average weight person, yes.
But not to someone of his weight
He is what I like to call an absolute muppet!he posted on the 3rd of december he wouldnt be "eating properly" again until the new year, so it's weeks worth of binging...

He said he's still 9 stone down from his start weight at the very start.he posted on the 3rd of december he wouldnt be "eating properly" again until the new year, so it's weeks worth of binging...

I don’t follow him either but I did, in fact I stopped following everyone SW as it just reminded me how foolish I used to be. It’s just the same old shit every few weeks and nothing will change.He said he's still 9 stone down from his start weight at the very start.
I dont follow him and never have done so not sure what his original start weight was, if he ever disclosed it
I think we can all agree that based on recent evidence that that is what is universally known as a load of old bollocks.He said he's still 9 stone down from his start weight at the very start.

I do think I’d have succeeded with a good consultant who helped understand the impacts of lifestyle change and balance. Unfortunately my experience at groups was awful and that is SW even if the plan itself can work. I do totally get that some nail it and it works long term. I just wish that had been me too.I think we can all agree that based on recent evidence that that is what is universally known as a load of old bollocks.
I honestly don't care what people think of me for saying this either, but its people like him, and accounts like his that make people think slimming world doesn't work.
It does when followed properly. I'm proof of that.
I'd been at the same group for over 3 years, and the more weight I lost, the snider the comments were getting...final straw for me was when I got to target for the second time (13st award) consultant said to me "I cannot allow you to lose anymore weight, you are starting to look ill. please do not ask me to change your target again because I will not write you out anymore certificates"I do think I’d have succeeded with a good consultant who helped understand the impacts of lifestyle change and balance.

I got slimmer of the month when I was close to my 9 stone award.I'd been at the same group for over 3 years, and the more weight I lost, the snider the comments were getting...final straw for me was when I got to target for the second time (13st award) consultant said to me "I cannot allow you to lose anymore weight, you are starting to look ill. please do not ask me to change your target again because I will not write you out anymore certificates"
It's like they make it up as they go along...I got slimmer of the month when I was close to my 9 stone award.
But someone else got it for losing 3lbs less than me.
My consult came up to me after and said "You've had plenty of slimmer of the months. I thought we should give it to someone else"
The SW experience is clearly very different for everyone and it seems the negative experiences far outweigh the positive.I got slimmer of the month when I was close to my 9 stone award.

He has a lot to lose and is moving more than what he used to. His calories really aren’t that high. I weigh 18st, 5ft 1 and have been given cals of 2238 and have lost 16lbs in 4 weeksI don’t get how he’s had so many calories and lost 11.5 lbs. The half stone must have been retained water or something!
Some friends have very good consultants and sing their praises, the local one to where I lived was terrible and still is absolutely terrible, she’s a terrible ambassador to slimming world but gets away with it.It's like they make it up as they go along...
I left my group, and the group I'm in now, the difference in consultants is absolutely staggering. My old one clearly didn't give a toss amd looking back you can see it all the more, my new consultant once covered my old group and I knew when I left that I wanted to join their group. The week they covered, I made a comment on our facebook group about how lovely the covering consultant was, and every week after that, it was like I was belittled for saying how nice they were.
So me changing to the group I'm at now and changing my target again is a fuck you to my old consultant more than anything
